Re: During Rails install - ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Couple questions: - what version of Rubygems do you have? The ''bulk update'' message hints that it might not be the most recent, needed by 2.3.2. - something is seriously wrong with your rubygems install; the Rails gem shouldn''t be pulling down things like Camping and Markaby. --Matt Jones On Aug 25, 8:08 am, mgpowers <gmichae...-PkbjNfxxIARBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Installed Ruby 1.8.6-26 Final Release....then tried to install Rails > and got error show below.... > Any ideas ? > > PS.

Re: During Rails install - ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
You''re not crazy. It''s broken. cured by: gem update --system These instructions work great: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-started/installation/windows Thanks to Matt Jones for the diagnosis.
